Mai Jed. Hotchkiss's Lecture ON the
Battle of ChancellOrsville.

In accordance with the announcement made
in our last issue, on last Saturday night. in the
Y. M. G. A. room, Maj. Jed Hotchkiss delivered
an interesting lecture on the battle of Chancel-
lorsvilie In aid of the fund now being raised for
the purpose of erecting monument on the
spot where Stonewall Jackson was shot down
by mistake at night by some of his own troops
as he was returning from accommodating the
position ofthe enemy.
1t is TO be regretted tn at, on account of the
Indictment weather, the audience was not as
large as it should have been. Those who braved
the weather and attended were amply repaid
by the instruction received. The familiarity
of the lecturer with the topography of the coun-
try surrounding that historic field, with his
skill in drawing maps on the blackboard en-
abled him TO exhibit it with all the minute OF
rivers and creeks and roads and hills and
plains, and to locate taverns and other places
of note. and the positions of the various forces
at different times; and his knowledge of the
strategy employed by the commanders OF the
opposing forces, enabled him to make his
dence clearly understand all the movements
aud the reasons therefor. 1t was an object les
son clearly presented to the observation OF both
the physical and mental eye. Having taken
no notes we will not do the lecturer the injus-
tice of attempting report to which justice
he drew. even If we had taken notes and could
report all he said. After the fall of Jackson
the command of his troops was offered to Gen
Rodes, but he declin ed to accept that RESPONSE
BILE position. and then it was given to the great
cavalry commander Gen. ]. E, 3. Stuart, after
which the federal forces under Hooker, 10000
strong, were defeated and driven back across
the Rappahanneck river by the go 600 Confed
crate troops under Lee. Whilst Hooker thought
Gen. Jackson was retreating towards Rich
mond he was only marching around on the
flank of Hooker to defeat him. and he was de-
feated, though Jackson fell before the battle
was Joined. and but for this sad misfortune
Hooker would have been totally ruined. After
showing how and where Jackson fell, in con
Guiding he said. substantially. that when Jack
son fell, the spirit OF the troops departed-thst
they had confidence in Lee to hold their posi-
tions, and that in Jackson to press forward
and win the victory, whose uniform and 'sim-
pie command was press on :" and that the sun
of the Confederacy went down on the battle
field of Gettysburg.

SETTLERS SUSTAINED
In their Action In Squatting ON
q Mflitary Hese walton.

WASHINGTON, July The Assistant
Secretary of the Interior to-day rendered
q decision in the Fort Boise (Idaho)
military reservation case. which is i'm. /.
portant as involving the question of the
right of q resident to put i3 reserv alton,
public lands not authorized by oct OF
Congress. The case, which has been
fully stated. Is as follows: On April 9,
1873. the President made Z reservation
of $40 acres for Fort Boise, Idaho. AT.
forwards. on September Is, 1874, he put
in the reservation 587 acres adjoining,
for the purposes of said fort, and on
April 10, 1884, the military authorities
transferred the latter reservation to the
control of the Secretary of the Interior for
disposal. In 1885. certain settlers went
on the latter tract and tried to take it
up under the homestead law, but Com.
missioner General Lang rejected their
claim on the ground that itswss held by
the reservation. The Secretary in his
decision reversed that decision and
awards the land to the settlers. The
decision is based on an act of February
l4th, 1858, which limits the amount
that may be reserved for the purposes of
q fort to $40 acres. The Secretary holds
that the President had no authority to
put in the reservation an amou Mt greater
than that fixed by Congress. and the ex.
cess over that amount ia subject to dis
posal under the general land laws.

The Pope Desires n Cessation OF
II Ostilitfes.

VIENNA, July IA circular letter of
June l6, from Rampolla the Papal Sec
retary of State. to Papal nuncios has
been published here. II embraces the
leading passages of the allocution of the
Pope delivered at the consistory of May
23rd. Rampolla says that the
sllocution which referred to the
attitude Of the Vatican towards
the people of Italy has been given
an Interpretation which cannot be al
lowed to gain credence. II is necessary
for the proper understanding of the in
tention Of the Pope that the passages
should be known in their integrity.
There is nothing extraordinary in the
wishes expressed by the Pope
for a cessation of the conflict
between the Vatican and the
government of Italy. No one can be
of the evils existing, and the
Church herself suffers from the
present state of things. The
Roman question must be settled in
such q m amer as will secure to the
Pope com plete liberty Of action. 1t is
